Being new to the style, I can’t say how it compares to others. I will say it is a very enjoyable beer. Pours a pale golden color with a frothy white head. Nose is earthy...a funky yeasty taste is in the flavor as well. Fruity and tart with a nice mouthfeel. A very enjoyable brew.

On tap at John’s Buffet in Winfield, IL. Served in a Hennepin chalice with an orangy gold color, foamy white head, and solid, then web-like lacing. The aroma was some yeast, light malt, and hints of spice and light fruit as lemon zest. The flavor added some moderate bitterness, creaminess to the tongue and a light, dry finish. Very nice.

I saw this staring me in the face at my local beer store and had to give a taste. It pours an amber/yellow partly cloudy. Moderate head. The aroma is spicy and fruity with hints of yeast. The taste does not let me down. So fruity and delicious. I love the spice mix. It’s like a piece of bread with cinnamon butter spread on it. I found the mouth feel to be pleasing as well. Not too thick. Seems right for a saison. I think this could easily be a session beer. The abv might get you but it would be worth downing a few bombers.

Tried at a beer tasting. Overall not impressed. Probably will give a second try, just did not see why the high rating.

Yeasty aroma with a slight bit of citrus zest. Hennepin has a clean golden color, with a thing white collar. The flavor is comprised of a bit of yeast, a little sweet with some honey like flavors. The beer has a crisp, tart finish, with a bit of sweetness in the ending.

Bottle at Pizzeria Uno - Poured a very pale color. A crisp hoppy hit right away. Easy drinking, could be a decent session beer. Reminds me of most basic Belgian Pale Ales.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Appearance: Pours a pastel yellow gold, with a small sudsy head. Plenty of light can get through, however the beer is a bit cloudy, and you can’t see objects through it.
Aroma: Spicy fruity yeast and dry malt.
Taste: At first, I get a fruity bouquet on the back of my tongue, followed by spices and spicy bitter hops in the finish. A little citrusy, and a tad yeasty.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, dry for the most part, refreshing. Full bodied like a Belgian ale.
Overall: A really good beer, a bit more fruit than I expected, but still something I would love to share with someone who likes farmhouse style beer.
